Buying Beer With Cash

THE LADY AT THE LIQUOR STORE handed me my beer through the window, along with my debit card, and I drove off, happy. No, it doesn't take much to please me. Just as I was about to pull out of the lot, I noticed that she hadn't given me a receipt, and I hadn't asked for one. For some reason I always want to get a receipt on electronic transactions; maybe I'm too old fashioned, and don't trust electronic machines, or the way people use them, or maybe...I'm smart. So I went back and got my receipt. She was very nice about it, and remarked, "it would probably be online by tomorrow anyway." That comment puzzled me. All I said to her was "That's too complicated for me", she agreed, and I drove off. But, is it true, what she said? Is every receipt of every electronic transaction on the internet? Really? why, I had no idea. It seems hard to believe, frankly. But, you never know know. In this world it just may be that every electronic transaction, or every one involving alcohol, or every one involving an American, or every one involving alcohol AND an America. - or maybe every one of mine....in theory, of course, the internet could contain an infinite amount of information, couldn't it? Couldn't the internet in theory contain more information than there is in the entire universe? Or something like that? Maybe for now on I should just buy beer with cash.
